Had an adventure and a half, with my dad today.

I recently won a Sega Saturn shop stand on ebay, so me and dad drove an odd 150 KM down F3 freeway on the central coast to Brookyln near Sydney, to pick it up.

Trouble was me and dad decided to use his Ford Station wagon, and didn't realise how damn tall the thing is ('bout 2.2 meters tall), so we had to put the back seats down and put the front seats forward as far as they would go so that the damn thing would barely fit.

As a result me and dad spent the entire trip going back up the freeway, with our knees up near our chests; was probably a sight to see for the other drivers on the road. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

Anyhoo, after nearly breaking our backs carrying the stand in the house (this thing is 1/2 steel, 1/4 wood, and 1/4 plastic) I know have the stand sitting happily in my room behind me.

Pretty sweet ain't it? T'was a $130 (AUD), well spent.

Oh and I got my GCN BBA today. So to test how long I can have the cube connected, I have weighted coins down onto my keyboard to make my FOmarl, Roll, do a pose over and over, in Antares 8. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

I agree. And all that work just to get it too.

So what do you plan on putting in it?

Not quiet, it was up for auction on ebay.

Dime: You know those stands you see in game shops at retail stores? That's what this is, except it's for a Saturn.
